Warning for tourists as storms forecast for holiday hotspot
Spain and the Balearic Islands are bracing for heavy rain, hail, and thunderstorms, with a Status Orange storm warning issued for several regions, including Barcelona and Madrid. Snow is possible in higher altitude areas. This contrasts sharply with the UK, where temperatures are predicted to reach the low 20s Celsius over the weekend. The adverse weather in Spain is attributed to a low-pressure system from the Atlantic and a cold air mass over the Iberian Peninsula. The Canary Islands are also experiencing rainfall, despite warmer temperatures.
